Hey everyone,

My name is Ramon, and I'm here looking for a good community to help support my weight loss efforts. I'm an ex division one football player and I've recently gained a lot of weight after leaving the sport. My playing weight was around 272 to 287, and my height is 6'6". Right now, I'm 315 and not in very good health. I have dropped some weight, as I was 328 at my peak.

My weight loss goal is to hit 265, then go from there to see if I need to lose anymore. So that is a loss of 50 lbs from where I am now. I should be able to drop from 315 to 300 pretty quickly, but after that, it will be an uphill battle.

I hope this forum can act as a guide along the way. I'm looking forward to the beach this year, hopefully I'll look and feel how I want!

Hi Ramon! Welcome. Be sure to set mini-goals along the way instead of looking at it as a 50-pound loss. Sometimes that might seem overwhelming. And you've come to a great place for support.

Keep us updated on how it goes!
